lirik lagu richard rodney bennett - bermudas
where the remote bermudas ride
in th’ ocean’s bosom unespy’d
from a small boat, that row’d along
the list’ning winds receiv’d this song
what should we do but sing his praise
that led us through the wat’ry maze
unto an isle so long unknown
and yet far kinder than our own?
where he the huge sea~monsters wracks
that lift the deep upon their backs
he lands us on a grassy stage
safe from the storm’s and prelates’ rage
he gave us this eternal spring
which here еnamels everything
and sеnds the fowls to us in care
on daily visits through the air
he hangs in shades the orange bright
like golden lamps in a green night;
and does in the pomegranates close
jewels more rich than ormus shows
he makes the figs our mouths to meet
and throws the melons at our feet
but apples plants of such a price
no tree could ever bear them twice
with cedars, chosen by his hand
from lebanon, he stores the land
and makes the hollow seas that roar
proclaim the ambergris on shore
he cast (of which we rather boast)
the gospel’s pearl upon our coast
and in these rocks for us did frame
a temple, where to sound his name
oh let our voice his praise exalt
till it arrive at heaven’s vault;
which thence (perhaps) rebounding, may
echo beyond the mexic bay
thus sung they in the english boat
an holy and a cheerful note
and all the way, to guide their chime
with falling oars they kept the time
